Sonar Vortex Supplemental Terms

Effective June 30, 2026. Before this date, Agentic Analysis and Context Augmentation (the Capabilities comprising Sonar Vortex) were available only as trial or complimentary features under the Trial, Complimentary Access, and Preview Add-Ons Supplemental Terms. From June 30, 2026, they are generally available as paid Capabilities of Sonar Vortex, governed by these Terms.

These Supplemental Terms (“Terms”) govern Customer’s access to and use of Sonar Vortex (“Vortex”).

These Terms are incorporated into the Agreement between SonarSource and Customer. All capitalized terms used in the Terms but not otherwise defined have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

Vortex comprises two Capabilities: Agentic Analysis and Context Augmentation, each as described in Section 3. Customer may be provided with one or both Capabilities as specified in the Order.

Vortex may be purchased as part of the Sonar Agent Essentials bundle, which also includes SonarQube Remediation Agent (“SQRA”). The bundle is not itself a Product; each component is governed by its own Supplemental Terms.

Each Capability’s treatment, including the confirmation that neither is Sonar AI Software as defined in the AI Annexset forth at sonarsource.com/legal/ai/, is set out in Section 3.

1. Definitions

  1. “Agreement” means the SonarSource Primary Customer Agreement set forth at sonarsource.com/legal/primary-agreement/ or other agreement between Customer and SonarSource governing Customer’s use of Sonar Products.
  2. “Capability” means each of Agentic Analysis and Context Augmentation, as described in Section 3.
  3. “Measurement Period” means the monthly period for which each Capability’s Usage Allowance is calculated and resets, as further described in Section 4.

2. Grants and Conditions

  1. Software Grants. SonarSource grants Customer and its Affiliates a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (i) right to access and use the SaaS Components of Vortex; and (ii) license to download, deploy, and use any Self-Managed Components of Vortex.
  2. Conditions. The grant of rights in Section 2.1 is conditioned on Customer’s and its Affiliates’ continuous compliance with the Agreement, these Terms, and the SonarSource Acceptable Use Policy set forth at sonarsource.com/legal/aup/, including continuous payment of fees for the underlying SonarQube subscription required for each Capability, and use of Vortex solely for Customer’s internal development purposes.

3. Agentic Analysis and Context Augmentation

  1. Not Sonar AI Software. Agentic Analysis and Context Augmentation provide information to Customer’s LLM Technologies provided by nonparties, such as Claude Code, but do not themselves use or invoke LLM Technologies. Therefore, neither is Sonar AI Software, as defined in the AI Annex, and the AI Annex does not apply to them.
  2. Input and Output Data. Code submitted to Agentic Analysis, and the source code and related materials processed by Context Augmentation, are Customer Data. The analysis results returned by Agentic Analysis and the context made available by Context Augmentation are Results Data. Agentic Analysis may also process build artifacts produced in Customer’s CI pipeline (e.g., compiled or bundled outputs); such build artifacts are Customer Data.

4. Fees and Usage

  1. Metered Capabilities. Vortex is a usage-based Product. Each Capability is metered separately, with the following Billable Units:
    1. Agentic Analysis: an Analysis Request; and
    2. Context Augmentation: a Context Request.
  2. Usage Allowance. The Usage Allowance for each Capability per Measurement Period is specified in the Order. Each Capability’s Usage Allowance is independent; usage of one Capability does not draw down the Usage Allowance of the other. Unused Billable Units do not roll over to a subsequent Measurement Period.
  3. Measurement Period. Each Capability’s Usage Allowance is provided monthly. The Measurement Period begins on the same day of the month as the start of Customer’s Vortex term. If the first month does not begin on that day, that month’s Usage Allowance, and any Usage Charges for it, are provided and calculated on a pro rata basis.
  4. Overage. If the Order specifies no Overage rate for a Capability, SonarSource is not obligated to provide Billable Units for that Capability beyond its Usage Allowance for the current Measurement Period, and additional capacity is available only by amending the Order.
  5. Counting. A Billable Unit counts against the applicable Usage Allowance, and toward any Overage, whether or not the relevant output is subsequently used or accepted by a User.

5. Term

  1. Term. These Terms will apply until the expiration or termination of the Agreement.
  2. Effect of Termination. Termination of these Terms will not affect any liability or obligations incurred by Customer (such as obligations related to Confidential Information), or licenses and waivers granted by Customer, prior to the effective date of such termination.

6. General

Except as supplemented or modified by these Terms, the Agreement remains in full force and effect.
